Chapter 3: The dogs from the border - Kalliir's story
The hottest days of the summer had arrived, and Pardus didn't have much to do these days. Castrations are rarely done in such weather, as bug infestations and infections are more common when it's hot, and even with alchemists producing disinfectants most would still wait until it is cooler.
The leopard decided to sleep in, together with his slave Kalliir the Dalmatian, both naked on the cozy bed in his cottage. Pardus toyed with the canine's crotch with his hind paw; there was only a small fuzzy sheath, and nothing but smooth fur between it and the butthole. The years passed after his neutering caused the scrotum to completely disappear into the skin around it, not even a scar was visible, and it appeared that's how he was _supposed_to look like down there. The feline rubbed at the sheath with his paw pads, knowing that nothing will happen from it. Kalliir's dick could only get hard under quick and intensive stimulation such as a blowjob, and even then, it would only last five to ten minutes and no fluid would come out. Sometimes the leopard would give him some oral action when there's nothing else to do; it was too mild compared to the hormonal musk of an intact male, but it's better than nothing. He played with the dog while reminisced about the time before and when they met...
It was almost eight years ago, when the leopard was 22 years old, and was an officer in the Catadoan army. The kingdom was involved in small-scale skirmish against the Confederation of Rumina, which were formed from several tribes of bovines, caprines and cervines. Pardus was a young knight centurion, leading his group to assist an outpost that had been surrounded for days. Unfortunately, they ran into a trap of the enemy, as the leopard was ambushed by a large group of buffalos and antelopes. Severe casualty was inflicted, and Pardus was heavily wounded on his left leg. To his luck, another centurion, Shallays the cheetah was able to speed up and break into the enemy formation, saved the Pardus' life, and even delayed the advance of the Ruminan army. This allowed the Catadoan main force to march forward through the battlefield and eventually led to an advantageous result of ceasefire negotiation.
Shallays was praised and promoted after the battle, and was appointed as the Cavalry Captain - second highest military office of Catadoa - at the age of 28. On the other hand, Pardus was ashamed of underestimating the enemy and act rashly, and decided to retire from the military and recuperate at home. He was pleasantly surprised that the cheetah did not blame him at all, but stayed the best friend with the leopard. One walking on the streets of Leopolis could often see a robust cheetah clad in military uniform and a slightly limping leopard wearing civilian clothes, walking hand in hand. At that time, Pardus survived on inheritance of his late parents, who were minor nobility and worked as part time alchemists.
Half a year pasted since then. On an early autumn morning, the pair of felines were having a walk on the north outskirts of Leopolis and passed by the kingdom's main slave market. Suddenly they were distracted by loud chattering mixed with howls, and a large group of furs were in and around the market and looking at something. The leopard was curious, and he took Shallays' paw, pulling him towards the gathering wanting to know what happened.
From the gossips in the furs around, the felines were told about the special occasion. A few days ago, the kingdom's army had conquered a border village which attempted to conspire with Rumina to start another war. As punishment, the King (Leowis' father at that time) ordered to capture some young males and females (of 18~20 years of age) from the village and sell them as slaves. That day was the first day when they were exhibited and sold.
That village was apparently populated by mostly canines. There were a few huskies, Rottweilers, Dalmatians and other dogs that Pardus didn't know what type they were. The canines were all naked and tied to the stakes in the central plaza of the market, with the potential customs fondling them all over the body to check their state.
"Do you want to get a slave from here, so you could at least have someone for company at home?" suggested Shallays to Pardus.
The leopard hesitated. Having a "pet" slave wouldn't be out of his budget as a minor noble and former officer, and a servant would definitely help as he was living alone. Plus, if it's a male, he could play with or taste a cock whenever he wants! On the other hand, the leopard wasn't sure what prices would these canines fetch, as he wasn't that rich anyways. "At least let us have a look," Pardus thought, as he walked around the square and looked at the youthful dogs, wondering who would buy them and what fate would befall them with their new masters. The anthros were tied standing up to the stakes with their legs separated, so that the customers can easily examine the goods.
It wasn't heat season for the bitches; they had prominent tits but their vulvas were small and hidden between their legs, and there was no visible reaction even if some bold anthros tried to touched them there. On the other hand, the males had their genitals hanging outside of the body, especially their balls, as the warm weather meant that the plums were hanging low in their full sacks. Some of the male dogs are getting erections from the fondling by the visitors, forming knots in the sheath which looked like that they had four balls.
As a gay leopard, it was too much for Pardus to endure. He walked up towards a large Dalmatian and husky who were tied next to each other, and took hold of their knots each with one paw. Pardus rubbed the sheathed knots fervently, enjoying the texture of firm canine meat wrapped in soft skin. Both dogs showed a few centimeters of bright red tips out of the sheath opening, in stark contrast against the white fur of their bellies. A puma who looked like staff member walked up and stopped Pardus from continuous fondling, explaining that if the canines cummed now, they wouldn't perform as good during the auction.
Before long, the crowd was quietened by a loud announcement. A middle-aged uniformed lion walked into the middle of the plaza, declaring that the auction is starting soon.
"That's Rolewis, a cousin of the king and a colonel in the army. I think he was the contact person of the army to the slave market, so he's always presiding over sales of slaves caught during military actions." explained Shallays to the leopard as the felines focused their sight to the lion.
"Here we have fifteen dogs who had already undergone basic training so they will be generally obedient," announced Rolewis, "and we have gelder here in case any males are preferred to be neutered."
A short anthro dressed in exotic dark red clothes and a hood walked from the crowd to the side of Rolewis with a heavy-looking box in his paw. He revealed his face; the anthro was a serval, an uncommon species of feline with long ears and cheetah-like spots. The serval looked even older than Rolewis, with a few scars visible on his face, despite being almost a head shorter than the lion.
"This is Ruah, a professional traveling gelder hailing from a distant land. He has been a gelder for 30 years, and have been in Catadoa multiple times to cut eunuchs and criminals. As he happened to be near Leopolis recently, we invited him to provide castrations." the lion continued. The male dogs among the bounded slaves all grew visibly nervous, with some futilely shifting their legs to hide their ballsacks.
At that time, Pardus was not very familiar with castrations and gelded anthros. Since long ago the leopard noticed that some slaves smelled "different" as they looked like adult males but lacked the male pheromones typical to their species, even in heat or rut season. In the army, soldiers always joked about getting each other "gelded" or "neutered", and it's then when Pardus learned what the terms referred to: cutting off or destroying the pair of balls between the legs of male anthros or ferals, so that they can't reproduce and would become milder in temperament. He was always fascinated by male genitalia and was always wondering and imagining what gelding would be like, but he had never seen a castration or a castrated crotch until that say.
After the introduction of Ruah and a brief description of the "goods", Rolewis announced the start of the auction. The first one to be sold was a mastiff, who had a thick and fluffy brown-black coat, and stood taller than all others surrounding him. Many furs were visibly intimidated by the huge hunk of a beast even if he was tightly bound; only a few joined the bid, and it was a soft voice from the back who got the deal. It was a girl; a female cat with tabby fur, about half the height of the huge mastiff. It was such a contrast that Pardus almost laughed out loud.
"Could we get him neutered right now?" said the tabby almost without hesitation. Apparently, the kitty was worried that the male dog was too big to control, and neutering him at least would make him more docile.
The mastiff did not try to resist, in contrary to the expectation of most of the audience. He obediently lied on the castration bench as if he had accepted his fate completely. His genitals were almost entirely obscured by long fur, with only a pink point barely visible from the tip of the sheath.
The gelder approached the bench from the right side. Even as the canine was bound and lying down, the professional serval was still dwarfed by his size. Ruah rubbed on the genital area with his right paw, took out a razor from his pocket, and started working on the fur immediately. As the razor moved up and down, the mastiff's sheath and scrotum became visible. Under the brown-black hairs, the skin was surprisingly light pink, with a few black spots. Each of his balls was as big as a whole paw of the serval. The knot within the sheath, which were forming rapidly, was even bigger. As Ruah caressed and stimulated the sheath, the mastiff's cock head started to emerge into a raging red rod; the knot, though, was too large to pass through the sheath opening and had to swell within. Pardus and Shallays could smell the musk of a male dog in the air, which were mixed with multiple species' arousal, probably from the "reaction" in the surrounding audience.
The castration itself wasn't really complicated. Ruah rubbed some powder on the area between the sheath and sack, and massaged one of the testicles gently towards the base of the sheath, just next to the swollen knot. He then took out a scalpel, opened the skin with a quick slice, and squeezed the ball out. Pardus could see the dog ball was a grey-white oval with snaking veins, connected by a thick cord and a swelling (epididymis) behind it. The serval pressed on the cord twice with his paw-finger, applied a small clamp on it, and severed the connection in one rapid move. At the exact same time, the exposed cock tip started to shoot out clear liquid in pulses; it did not smell as strong as one would expect though. The mastiff howled from the double effect of the orgasm and pain.
Ruah did not care about that at all. He moved the other testicle to the same position, incised the skin, and extracted it from the body. While the mastiff was still cumming, the serval scratched the cord, clamped and cut it with minimal bleeding. In less than a minute, Ruah had one huge testicle in each paw hanging by the cut cord, as the canine's knot was deflating. As he witnessed the first castration ever, Pardus wondered if it would be the last time for the dog to erect and cum.
The tabby cat who was the new owner of the dog ran and jumped towards the podium, took the pair of balls into her bag, and went to a shack in the back side, probably for payment and contract signing.
The auction continued. A few bitches followed, and the buyers were respectively two young males and a brothel. The beagle who was sold to the brothel looked desperate.
Then it was a male Rottweiler. It was a robust and sturdy breed, and he was a fine specimen with strong muscles on his torso. Pardus found himself worrying about the canine; if he was sold into a mine or a quarry, it would probably be a short and miserable life ahead. While three or four furs were bidding (as the leopard contemplate of joining), the one who finally got him was a male in his twenties; Pardus initially couldn't see what species he was as he was on the backside of the crowd. It turned out to be ... another Rottweiler! The Rottweiler from the back walked up, and gave a strong hug to the slave Rottweiler, then undid the ropes bounding him. Furs were gossiping in low voices, suspecting if they were actually related. No answer was given though, as the canine slave was visibly relieved not to be castrated or forced to do manual labor. The two dogs who looked almost identical, one clothed and one naked, walked paw in paw to the back for the paperwork.
Several more slaves were quickly sold afterwards. There were no castrations, nor eye-catching buyers. Pardus was beginning to get bored and thought about asking Shallays if they should go home, as he suddenly noticed that the next one bounded on the podium was the male husky who he "played" with before. The husky had a defiant look in his eyes, but didn't actively resist as the soldiers pulled his leash. He had sapphire blue eyes which stood out in his black-and-white fur. This dog was very popular as several anthros joined the bidding almost instantaneously, and the price quickly exceeded the leopard's budget. Soon, a hare outbid everyone else. The hare looked like a rich merchant and was at least in his forties; he stared at the husky on the podium with a smirk.
The husky did not expect either that his new master was a weak-looking herbivore. "What a little bunny would..." as he scoffed, the dog was gagged by a soldier standing next to him. As the husky tried to struggle against the bondage and escape, the surrounding soldiers quickly subdued him, puts his arms behind the back, while one soldier even grasped his fuzzy ballsack.
"Ugh, it's not easy to be a little bunny, underestimated by even a slave." the hare said in self-deprecating humor, before suddenly changing into a cruel expression. "Well, get him neutered, gelded or whatever, so he would at least listen to me. Let him remember how it happened too."
Now everyone, including Pardus and Shallays, were focused on the podium. With a toothy grin, Ruah asked, "So you want some more 'exciting' way to neuter him? What about with a special clamp, or a hammer, anything else?"
The tightly bounded husky shivered in fear as he heard "clamp" and "hammer". His shaking intensified as the hare replied "let me see what the clamp can do."
As Ruah was rummaging for the applicable tools from his toolbox, the husky was fixed onto the bench despite strong struggling. This time, nothing budged, the ropes being made sure to be tight enough. The serval first took out a small wooden board, and fixed it between the forced-open legs of the male canine. He laid the scrotum on the board, shaved the entire area clean, and with both hands located the vessels connecting the balls to the body by palpating the base of the scrotum. Pulling the nuts a bit downwards, Ruah stretched the sack so that the cords can be easily accessed. At the same time, the husky's doghood expanded slightly, with an inch of pink meat poking out of the sheath opening, though the knot was not visibly formed. The furs around could smell fear together with a very slight arousal; the anthros witnessing the scene were also becoming uneasy.
Ruah then took out the "special clamp". It was made of steel and about a foot long, and looked like a large nutcracker; on one end there were a pair of movable handles and on the other round parts that connects in a straight line when pushed together. "This is a 'burdizzo'. I found this design from a book and improved it by my own, and asked the best smith of the land to create it." explained the serval. He took hold of the dog's left testicle with one paw, and carefully put the cord bundle within the clamp parts.
Suddenly, Ruah closed the clamp with a strong force, and the two metal pieces came together through the ballsack. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Even with the gag, the husky's howl pierced the entire area. Pardus was intrigued and excited with the castration of the mastiff, but now he was only feeling a phantom pain between his legs. "One. Two. Third. Four. Five..." Ruah waited five long seconds before carefully releasing the burdizzo clamp. There was no blood, and the scrotal skin itself was not broken, with only a dark red line where the clamp was. But it was clear as day that the spermatic cord within have be crushed and the orb below would never be supplied by blood anymore. The dog's pink tip had disappeared into the sheath because of the pain.
The serval did not give the husky any time to calm down; he placed the cord of the other side between the metal pieces, and clamped down hard --- the canine's scream followed immediately. After it was opened this time, despite that the scrotum was not slashed open and the balls were still there, the male dog lying on the bench had already been neutered. "His balls need about a month to completely atrophy, and then he would be as good as if they were cut out," said Ruah, "just be careful of inflammation and remember that his sex drive may decrease slowly. If you're not sure you can always put on a chastity belt."
The husky was unbound and removed from the bench, and fell down lying on the ground almost in an instant. Two soldiers ran up and dragged the almost unconscious body into the shack behind for healing preparation; the hare merchant followed suit to get through the process of the slave contract.
The auction continued as more dogs were sold. It was late afternoon, and the crowd was slowly dwindling as onlookers became bored and left. The last slave to be sold was a Dalmatian, one of the two Pardus had "played with" before. The leopard couldn't help but joined the bidding; alas, his first number was surpassed quickly and while he was hesitating, the lion had already declared the dog sold. It was an antelope, and judging from attire, he was a minor nobility of Catadoa.
"Just cut that mutt," said the antelope as he walked towards the podium, "work on him when I play with his naughty eggs."
Ruah frowned. Apparently, he was not fond of a stranger interfering with his job. But the antelope was the new owner of the spotted canine, and a noble, so the serval couldn't flat out say no. "I don't mind but just don't mess with my knife work," he said.
The antelope was more brutal than anyone could expect. He squeezed on the Dalmatian's balls forcefully, and jerked on the sheath at the same time. Just as Ruah finished shaving the operation area, the noble pulled the sheath down with a sudden strike of his hoof, and released a rod of crimson flesh instantly. As the knot was formed, the whole thing was stuck in place and couldn't be returned into the sheath. The dog thrusted his hips instinctively, making the serval unable to make the cut.
The cruel noble didn't care. He opened his mouth and took in the cock all the way before the knot; with his incisors he bit hard on the meat. Pardus could smell some blood mixed into the canine's musk. The antelope took another a few chomps, squeezed the balls again, and finally released the abused genitals. "Now let's do it."
Ruah was visibly upset, but he still tried the best to hold his temper. Just like with the mastiff, he moved the balls to the base of the sheath, sliced open the skin, removed the testicles and severed the cords. Under the demand of the antelope, the serval handed the balls to him. What happened after that made everyone astonished.
First, the noble held both balls in his hoof, and smashed them hard between his hard hooves, with an audible pop. He threw the bloody mess on the ground and stomped on them. The spotted canine was still bounded, and he was almost crying.
Then, the antelope finished the payment, but before signing on the contract, he turned his head and walked away. "I just want to see a funny castration of the mutt, and who cares anyone wants him! I'm an earl and an official, do I look like I care about the money? Maybe let him get pimped out on the street or starve, not my business!" with a cruel laugh, the antelope just walked out of the market.
The Dalmatian was crying hard now. There was a commotion in the remaining furs, everyone was shocked about the wanton cruelty and abandonment; the host didn't expect anything like that either, and unsure what to do "er......"
"I'll take the dog." Pardus was startled by a calm voice next to him. It was Shallays the cheetah. With an additional payment of a third of the original price, the cheetah bought the abandoned Dalmatian. Of course, the host had gained more than the bidding price, and had nothing against this arrangement.
"Go get the contract ready. He'll be a good companion to you." said Shallays as he patted Pardus' shoulder.
The leopard did not expect that he would actually bring a slave home. He signed the contract, and thanked the cheetah profusely, while consoling the neutered and discarded dog. Pardus decided to call him "Kalliir", which meant gratitude in his dialect, as he was grateful of Shallays's decision of buying the dog for him and of saving him from abandonment.
For the next a few days, Pardus was always at the side of Kalliir to help him heal. The bite wounds on the penis weren't deep and disappeared in a few weeks. The castration wound was also healed quickly with Ruah's special medicine. The sack turned into wrinkled black skin, standing out from the white fur around it.
And the leopard gained more than his dog slave. Having been intrigued by the castration process and its flexibility, and being good at things that need dexterity, Pardus had the idea of becoming a gelder himself. He was looking for his new career path anyway after leaving the army. With the help of his former colleagues, the leopard visited Ruah and asked to become his disciple. To his delight, the serval nodded. In the following years, Pardus and Kalliir accompanied Ruah in travels around the land, as the leopard grew into a professional gelder and the dog into a reliable assistant.
As Pardus reminisced on how he came to be a gelder, he just remembered a few "loose ends" of the fateful auction. The two Rottweilers were seen in a few months on the street dressed identically. They told the leopard that they were not relatives but now partners of each other, and treat each other as an equal, even they were still master and slave legally.
As for the evil antelope? It was three years after the incident, as Pardus returned to Leopolis during the travel, when he finally heard of what happened to him. The antelope was arrested for graft and withholding military rations, and upon investigation, he was even found guilty of espionage for Rumina! In a rage, the king sentenced him to death after days of torture which included a cruel castration, where the entire genitals were smashed with stones. Kalliir was so happy when he heard of this, and they celebrated for the entire night.
